LASIK Eye Surgery, Are You a Candidate?

Posted By Key-Whitman Eye Center || 14-May-2012

Do you wear eyeglasses or contact lenses? Are you ready to see clearly
when you wake up in the morning without having to fumble around to find
your eyeglasses? More than likely, you’ve heard commercials for
LASIK vision correction surgery on the radio. You may have even seen ads
online or have a friend or family member who has undergone
LASIK eye surgery.

Would you like to know if LASIK is right for you? How do you know if you
are a candidate for LASIK? Here are a few qualifications for LASIK vision
correction surgery patients:

The ideal candidate for LASIK is…

o 18 years of age or older.

o Has healthy corneas.

o Has experienced no significant change in their vision prescription in
the last 12 months.

o Patients with over or under corrected vision after other refractive surgery.

People with certain medical conditions may not be good candidates for LASIK.
As with any medical procedure or surgery, there are risks and the possibility
of complications. Some potential side effects include glare from bright
lights, halos, light sensitivity, light driving flare and visual fluctuation.
